Develop and test code for microcontroller devices

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
Registered Training Organisations
Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver UEEIC0010, 'Develop and test code for microcontroller devices'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Develop and test code for microcontroller devices' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Identify microcontroller device code to specifications

1.1

Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are obtained and applied

1.2

Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work

1.3

Scope of specification to be developed is determined from job performance requirements and in consultation with relevant person/s

1.4

Activities are planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with person/s involved on the worksite

1.5

Appropriate development kit and software are selected in accordance with specified requirements and required performance standards

1.6

Strategies are implemented to ensure programming is in accordance with relevant industry standards/protocols

2

Develop microcontroller device code to specifications

2.1

WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out work are followed

2.2

Microcontroller functions and features are applied to developing microcontroller device code specifications

2.3

Structure and syntax are applied to developing program specification for target microcontroller function

2.4

Key features of the assembler programming language are identified and applied to develop and test microcontroller device solutions

2.5

Approaches to issues/problems are analysed to provide most effective solutions

2.6

Quality of work is monitored in accordance with performance agreement/specification and/or workplace procedures or relevant industry standards

3

Test and document microcontroller device code to the required application

3.1

Testing workplace procedures are developed to analyse code developed

3.2

Problems, faults and bugs are identified and rectified to ensure specification in the creation of the code is met

3.3

Intermediate and final work reports are written in accordance with relevant industry standards and presented to appropriate person/s
